It is basically impossible to find good F9 in LL club. I tried V3 with my FC United of Manchester in Vanarama National League and I have 0 points after 4 matches (tactic almost fluid - it's really strange for me that it is still not 100% fluid because I played 10 friendlies before season and I trained only tactics with high intensity). Defence is very weak and there are very few chances created each game... I also tried to change ST from F9 to CF-S but it didn't make any difference...

got to agree! I'm using derby and a couple of strikers are on the tip of false 9 but its hard to get them to perform

I faced the same problem, as a LLM myself, so I tried to create a tactic that is a bit "universal", got promoted with FC United of Manchester, won premier league with Manu, atm rocking top of Bundesliga with Bayern too, 17 wins, 1 loss, 1 draw.

I used common positions in my tactic as F9 is indeed impossible to find at that level of competition.

I don't know if it'll yield best results for you, but it SHOULD be able to get you promoted, it did for me anyways and I holidayd my way throught the season + quick pick + instant result

Sorry for posting this in this topic, sitting 2nd with Leicester in premier league is an AMAZING result.

I've been using v4 for a few matches now in my journeyman save. I'm in 2021/22 season and just joined Barca. They still have MSN but they are getting old and the club has not won anything since 2015/16 (La Liga). Either way they are doing really well. They have 25 goals between the 3 of them in 8 matches so far.

I haven't played any top clubs in CL or La Liga yet so we'll see how it fairs against them.

It can still go wrong, but I really dont believe that now Used v3 for the first 25 or so, and v4 after that, the resaults are pretty mutch the same with v3 and v4 for my team I think.
First season we ended 4th and lost in playoff, but we had a weaker team with media pred 20 then, now we were predicted 10th.

Noone suits the F9 role well, but we play quite good anyway. I think you have made good tactics again CE, even for low league, well done and thank you!

I would like to give every single credit to Mr. SilverSpy for his MAHLUK tactic. What a great tactic that is and thanks to him I had some new insights and possibilities for a new tactic. I made a 433 tacticwith 3 central midfielders and changed some player instructions, teaminstructions, switched from counter to standard and changed to a flexible team shape.

So yes, it is definetely a tweaked version. But again, credits to the MaAHLUK tactic.

- New striker, deep lying forward.
- No attacking midfielder, just three central midfielder with one attacking midfielder.
- Inside forward at the left side, winger at the right side.

Do you use v5 nd v5.1 on different occasions CE? Or which one do you prefer?

Hello CE. I'm currently managing wolves, and using v3 right now. It's actually going pretty well, but of course improvements are always welcome. At the moment, what version do you think is the best for a Championship club like wolves, i haven't really been playing since v4 and v5 was announced, so im very curious if these are a lot better and are improved for at club like wolves?

I made a new version from the 5.1. It has a control mentality and uses a lot of short passing. The main tweak is the new mentality and the defensive midfielder. Don't ask me which version is the best, because every tactic can turn out well.. and bad. Even the best tactics. Good luck!

Thank you TFF for the standard situations.

If you're doing well with a old version (also the V5's)? Keep that in mind or stick with these versions. Moment of writing this I am using the V5, V5.1 and the V6. FYI!

This v5 and v5.1 look more like they could be used also by LLM teams. I'll give them a try!

Yes. Good luck! Switch to control, if needed.

Hmm.. I would use the new ones. But keep in the mind the version that worked really well for you. Thank you for your reaction!

Thanks C.E. for this great tactic, is the first one that give me control of match, great defense and good attack. I'm using V5.

Could you explain me better when i should use V5, V5.1, V6. Which one give you better defense and which one better attack?

THANKS!!!!!

In general, I use the V6 when I am the better side and should win the match. I use the V5 when I am playing against a much better side and 5.1 is just for keep the scoreline as it is, a sort of solid base.

So i've done half a season (24 games) with Crystal Palace and V4 - running 2nd, 2 points behind Hull City, not that I complain with the amount of injuries i've had at times. Been down to crappy 18 yo so called talents as CDs in a few games - a bit more lucky in the midfield, the 18 year olds only made it to the bench xD

V5, V5.1 or V6. V3 is very solid, but doesn't score a lot. Let's have a test and see what works best.

I just finished my first season with Real Salt Lake in MLS in the US using V3. CE is right that it doesn't score a lot, but it excellent defensively for me. I will post screen shots later, but I believe I only gave up 13 goals in 34 league games :cool:

Been using the v6 on my Chelsea-save. And as much as I hate to ask, but did you give the tactic proper testing before you shared it with this board? Because it's so awful away from home, I never manage to keep a clean sheet. And when I play at home most of the victories are by 1-0.

I'm in February now, I'm #1 on the league table, but c'mon I'm playing as Chelsea and this campaign hasn't been convincing at all. My top goalscorer is Diego Costa, and he's banged 11 goals in the league.. In my honest opinion, its an average tactic; but not plug & play at all. Not even by centimeters. I can't imagine how this tactic would do for an average/weaker side.
